Black Aluminium Outdoor Wall Lamp with E27 Holder - IP65 Acrylic Section 310 x 230mm LL 503A-BK

IP65 with an acrylic section rather than glass is a deliberately practical combination. IP65 means sealed against water jets, so this handles a fully exposed wall taking driving rain or being hosed down — and acrylic, unlike glass, will not shatter if something strikes it, which matters on a gate post or a wall beside a driveway where a stone or a ball eventually will. The trade-off is that acrylic can yellow with sustained UV over years where glass stays clear, so it is a choice between durability now and clarity later. The aluminium body in black is 310mm high by 230mm wide, and the E27 holder takes LED or conventional bulbs so you set the brightness. For entrances, gates, pathways and exterior walls.

Buying guide

Acrylic versus glass is a genuine decision rather than a cost cut. Acrylic survives impact where glass shatters, which is why it is the sensible choice at a gate, beside a driveway or anywhere a ball, stone or reversing vehicle might reach. Glass keeps its clarity indefinitely, where acrylic can yellow under sustained UV after some years. Pick by position: exposed to knocks, choose acrylic; sheltered but in strong sun, glass lasts better looking new. The IP65 rating here is the top protection in this range, so this is one to use on a fully exposed elevation rather than reserving for a porch. Fit an LED E27 bulb to keep heat inside the housing down and check the maximum wattage first. Mount around 1.9 to 2.1 metres, and wipe the acrylic with a soft cloth only, since abrasives scratch it far more easily than glass.

How it compares

Against glass-diffused fittings, acrylic survives impact where glass shatters, at the cost of possible yellowing under years of UV. Compared with the IP44 lantern wall light, this is sealed to IP65 for fully exposed walls. Against the cone-shaped IP65 wall lights, those use a conical diffuser to throw light downward while this is a broader lantern form. Against a solar wall light, consistent brightness but wiring is required.

Frequently asked questions

Acrylic or glass?
Acrylic survives impact, which suits a gate, driveway or anywhere a ball or stone might reach. Glass keeps its clarity longer under strong sun, where acrylic can yellow over years.

Can it go on a fully exposed wall?
Yes — IP65 is sealed against water jets, the top protection rating in this range, so it handles driving rain and hosing.

How should I clean the acrylic?
A soft cloth only. Acrylic scratches far more easily than glass, and abrasive cleaners cloud it permanently.

Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes — same-day delivery within Nairobi and countrywide shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and beyond, with payment by M-Pesa or on delivery.
